As you may have gathered, mealtimes are very special for us. My Louisiana boy does love him his soups and sourdough French bread, so we have that combination often.

This was the end of the line for the split pea/lentil/barley soup for him, and the -sniff- end of the crimini mushroom soup for me.

I wasn’t quite quick enough with the shutter to get ALL of the tomato/Monterey Jack/sourdough rounds into the picture, but they provided a really nice accompaniment. That’s smoked paprika on my mushroom soup, but we are successfully experimenting with straight cayenne – in small amounts!
